The centre console gets a new storage area for the wireless charging of mobile devices. Interestingly, the automaker is claiming that it planned OTA updates for the powertrain and chassis along with navigation mapping and equipped vehicle diagnostics.

Speaking of other updates, there is leather-free upholstery that comes combined with wool polyurethane textiles inserts. While the SUV gets new leather interior themes available in options such as Cloud, Raven Blue and Deep Garnet. Land Rover has also installed Moonlight Chrome accents on the steering wheel, air vents and centre console surrounds.

For powertrain, the SUV comes with the plug-in hybrid version and it received a battery upgrade with capacity rising from 13.6 kWh to 19.2 kWh, improving the range.
